God Will Judge Everyone
2 No matter who you are, if you judge anyone, you have no excuse. When you judge another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things. 2 We know that God’s judgment is right when he condemns people for doing these things. 3 When you judge people for doing these things but then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Do you have contempt for God, who is very kind to you, puts up with you, and deals patiently with you? Don’t you realize that it is God’s kindness that is trying to lead you to him and change the way you think and act?
5 Since you are stubborn and don’t want to change the way you think and act, you are adding to the anger that God will have against you on that day when God vents his anger. At that time God will reveal that his decisions are fair. 6 He will pay all people back for what they have done. 7 He will give everlasting life to those who search for glory, honor, and immortality by persisting in doing what is good. But he will bring 8 anger and fury on those who, in selfish pride, refuse to believe the truth and who follow what is wrong. 9 There will be suffering and distress for every person who does evil, for Jews first and Greeks as well. 10 But there will be glory, honor, and peace for every person who does what is good, for Jews first and Greeks as well. 11 God does not play favorites.
12 Here’s the reason: Whoever sins without having the laws in Moses’ Teachings will still be condemned to destruction. And whoever has these laws from God and sins will still be judged by them. 13 People who merely listen to the laws in Moses’ Teachings don’t have God’s approval. Rather, people who do what those laws demand will have God’s approval.
God Will Judge People Who Are Not Jewish
14 For example, whenever non-Jews who don’t have the laws in Moses’ Teachings do by nature the things that those laws contain, they are a law to themselves even though they don’t have any of those laws. 15 They show that some requirements found in Moses’ Teachings are written in their hearts. Their consciences speak to them. Their thoughts accuse them on one occasion and defend them on another. 16 This happens as they face the day when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge people’s secret thoughts. He will use the Good News that I am spreading to make that judgment.
God Will Judge Jewish People
17 You call yourself a Jew, rely on the laws in Moses’ Teachings, brag about your God, 18 know what he wants, and distinguish right from wrong because you have been taught Moses’ Teachings. 19 You are confident that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in the dark, 20 an instructor of ignorant people, and a teacher of children because you have the full content of knowledge and truth in Moses’ Teachings. 21 As you teach others, are you failing to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, are you stealing? 22 As you tell others not to commit adultery, are you committing adultery? As you treat idols with disgust, are you robbing temples? 23 As you brag about the laws in Moses’ Teachings, are you dishonoring God by ignoring those laws? 24 As Scripture says, “God’s name is cursed among the nations because of you.”
25 For example, circumcision is valuable if you follow the laws in Moses’ Teachings. If you don’t follow those laws, your circumcision amounts to uncircumcision. 26 So if a man does what those laws demand, won’t he be considered circumcised even if he is uncircumcised? 27 The uncircumcised man who carries out what those laws say will condemn you for not following them. He will condemn you in spite of the fact that you are circumcised and have those laws in writing. 28 A person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision a matter of how the body looks. 29 Rather, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is something that happens in a person’s heart. Circumcision is spiritual, not just a written rule. That person’s praise will come from God, not from people.

God's Righteous Judgment
2 Therefore you have (A)no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For (B)in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on (C)the riches of his kindness and (D)forbearance and (E)patience, (F)not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are (G)storing up (H)wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 (I)He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who (J)by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking[a] and (K)do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress (L)for every human being who does evil, the Jew (M)first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and (N)peace for everyone who does good, (O)the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For (P)God shows no partiality.
God's Judgment and the Law
12 For all who have sinned (Q)without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For (R)it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, (S)by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is (T)written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 (U)on that day when, (V)according to my gospel, God judges (W)the secrets of men (X)by Christ Jesus.
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and (Y)rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are (Z)a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law (AA)the embodiment of (AB)knowledge and truth— 21 (AC)you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you (AD)rob temples? 23 You who (AE)boast in the law (AF)dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, (AG)as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed (AH)among the Gentiles because of you.”
25 For circumcision indeed is of value (AI)if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if (AJ)a man who is uncircumcised keeps (AK)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded[b] as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically[c] uncircumcised but keeps the law (AL)will condemn you who have (AM)the written code[d] and circumcision but break the law. 28 For (AN)no one is a Jew (AO)who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one (AP)inwardly, and (AQ)circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. (AR)His praise is not from man but from God.

King James Version
2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

El justo juicio de Dios
2 Por lo cual eres inexcusable, oh hombre, quienquiera que seas tú que juzgas; pues en lo que juzgas a otro, te condenas a ti mismo;(A) porque tú que juzgas haces lo mismo. 2 Mas sabemos que el juicio de Dios contra los que practican tales cosas es según verdad. 3 ¿Y piensas esto, oh hombre, tú que juzgas a los que tal hacen, y haces lo mismo, que tú escaparás del juicio de Dios? 4 ¿O menosprecias las riquezas de su benignidad, paciencia y longanimidad, ignorando que su benignidad te guía al arrepentimiento? 5 Pero por tu dureza y por tu corazón no arrepentido, atesoras para ti mismo ira para el día de la ira y de la revelación del justo juicio de Dios, 6 el cual pagará a cada uno conforme a sus obras:(B) 7 vida eterna a los que, perseverando en bien hacer, buscan gloria y honra e inmortalidad, 8 pero ira y enojo a los que son contenciosos y no obedecen a la verdad, sino que obedecen a la injusticia; 9 tribulación y angustia sobre todo ser humano que hace lo malo, el judío primeramente y también el griego, 10 pero gloria y honra y paz a todo el que hace lo bueno, al judío primeramente y también al griego; 11 porque no hay acepción de personas para con Dios.(C)
12 Porque todos los que sin ley han pecado, sin ley también perecerán; y todos los que bajo la ley han pecado, por la ley serán juzgados; 13 porque no son los oidores de la ley los justos ante Dios, sino los hacedores de la ley serán justificados. 14 Porque cuando los gentiles que no tienen ley, hacen por naturaleza lo que es de la ley, estos, aunque no tengan ley, son ley para sí mismos, 15 mostrando la obra de la ley escrita en sus corazones, dando testimonio su conciencia, y acusándoles o defendiéndoles sus razonamientos, 16 en el día en que Dios juzgará por Jesucristo los secretos de los hombres, conforme a mi evangelio.
Los judíos y la ley
17 He aquí, tú tienes el sobrenombre de judío, y te apoyas en la ley, y te glorías en Dios, 18 y conoces su voluntad, e instruido por la ley apruebas lo mejor, 19 y confías en que eres guía de los ciegos, luz de los que están en tinieblas, 20 instructor de los indoctos, maestro de niños, que tienes en la ley la forma de la ciencia y de la verdad. 21 Tú, pues, que enseñas a otro, ¿no te enseñas a ti mismo? Tú que predicas que no se ha de hurtar, ¿hurtas? 22 Tú que dices que no se ha de adulterar, ¿adulteras? Tú que abominas de los ídolos, ¿cometes sacrilegio? 23 Tú que te jactas de la ley, ¿con infracción de la ley deshonras a Dios? 24 Porque como está escrito, el nombre de Dios es blasfemado entre los gentiles por causa de vosotros.(D)
25 Pues en verdad la circuncisión aprovecha, si guardas la ley; pero si eres transgresor de la ley, tu circuncisión viene a ser incircuncisión. 26 Si, pues, el incircunciso guardare las ordenanzas de la ley, ¿no será tenida su incircuncisión como circuncisión? 27 Y el que físicamente es incircunciso, pero guarda perfectamente la ley, te condenará a ti, que con la letra de la ley y con la circuncisión eres transgresor de la ley. 28 Pues no es judío el que lo es exteriormente, ni es la circuncisión la que se hace exteriormente en la carne; 29 sino que es judío el que lo es en lo interior, y la circuncisión es la del corazón, en espíritu, no en letra; la alabanza del cual no viene de los hombres, sino de Dios.

2 Итак, неизвинителен ты, всякий человек, судящий [другого], ибо тем же судом, каким судишь другого, осуждаешь себя, потому что, судя [другого], делаешь то же.
2 А мы знаем, что поистине есть суд Божий на делающих такие [дела].
3 Неужели думаешь ты, человек, что избежишь суда Божия, осуждая делающих такие [дела] и (сам) делая то же?
4 Или пренебрегаешь богатство благости, кротости и долготерпения Божия, не разумея, что благость Божия ведет тебя к покаянию?
5 Но, по упорству твоему и нераскаянному сердцу, ты сам себе собираешь гнев на день гнева и откровения праведного суда от Бога,
6 Который воздаст каждому по делам его:
7 тем, которые постоянством в добром деле ищут славы, чести и бессмертия, --жизнь вечную;
8 а тем, которые упорствуют и не покоряются истине, но предаются неправде, --ярость и гнев.
9 Скорбь и теснота всякой душе человека, делающего злое, во-первых, Иудея, [потом] и Еллина!
10 Напротив, слава и честь и мир всякому, делающему доброе, во-- первых, Иудею, [потом] и Еллину!
11 Ибо нет лицеприятия у Бога.
12 Те, которые, не [имея] закона, согрешили, вне закона и погибнут; а те, которые под законом согрешили, по закону осудятся
13 (потому что не слушатели закона праведны пред Богом, но исполнители закона оправданы будут,
14 ибо когда язычники, не имеющие закона, по природе законное делают, то, не имея закона, они сами себе закон:
15 они показывают, что дело закона у них написано в сердцах, о чем свидетельствует совесть их и мысли их, то обвиняющие, то оправдывающие одна другую)
16 в день, когда, по благовествованию моему, Бог будет судить тайные [дела] человеков через Иисуса Христа.
17 Вот, ты называешься Иудеем, и успокаиваешь себя законом, и хвалишься Богом,
18 и знаешь волю [Его], и разумеешь лучшее, научаясь из закона,
19 и уверен о себе, что ты путеводитель слепых, свет для находящихся во тьме,
20 наставник невежд, учитель младенцев, имеющий в законе образец ведения и истины:
21 как же ты, уча другого, не учишь себя самого?
22 Проповедуя не красть, крадешь? говоря: 'не прелюбодействуй', прелюбодействуешь? гнушаясь идолов, святотатствуешь?
23 Хвалишься законом, а преступлением закона бесчестишь Бога?
24 Ибо ради вас, как написано, имя Божие хулится у язычников.
25 Обрезание полезно, если исполняешь закон; а если ты преступник закона, то обрезание твое стало необрезанием.
26 Итак, если необрезанный соблюдает постановления закона, то его необрезание не вменится ли ему в обрезание?
27 И необрезанный по природе, исполняющий закон, не осудит ли тебя, преступника закона при Писании и обрезании?
28 Ибо не тот Иудей, кто [таков] по наружности, и не то обрезание, которое наружно, на плоти;
29 но [тот] Иудей, кто внутренно [таков], и [то] обрезание, [которое] в сердце, по духу, [а] не по букве: ему и похвала не от людей, но от Бога.
